EDITORIAL SYMPOSIUM.
'l'lio Trump.
The tramp is a good subject for stu~
drnts of human nature. Not the cadav-
erous looking working man on the verge
o' starvation, who has been obliged to
beg to obtain sustenance for himself and
dear ones at home. but the genuine “ho-
bo" or professional. the saucy. impudeat.
lazy rugged specimen oi humanity. who
hauuis our kitchen doors after “a bit to
eat, mum.” and then flnds fault if it
does not happen to suit his aesthetic taste.
Practically the tramp is an object of our
most distinguished consideration. We
hand him out our broken victuals with a
tacit apology for their imperfections. No
one expects anything of him. and he
recapes all that wholesale abuse for inef
iiciency that is reserved for clumsy toil
era. The tramp shows a high apprecia
tion of the dignity of labor—in others
He will stand an inierested spectator and
oversee any class of labor with his grimy
hands thrust deep in the pockets of his
ragged trousers. while the wind toys
with his shaggy locks and unkempt
beard. He looks as he stands there as if
he were much better pleased with his lot
than those at work. Theoretically we
admit that the tramp mars the beauty of
the landscape to a degree. but they are
human and have a place in this great no-
iverse. The tramp has come to stay with
us. and while we may not admire his
dirt. rags. habits or tastes, still he makes
an interesting subject. E. J. '1‘.
